The immunologist turned pop culture phenomenon is now the focus of a documentary

Beer and bobbleheads. Candles, colouring books, cupcakes and cushions. Dolls, doughnuts, hoodies, mugs and socks. T-shirts and yard signs that declare “Dr Fauci is my hero” and “In Fauci we trust”.

“Tony is the signal amid the noise. People are able to sense that there’s a lot of noise and their ears are trying to find the signal and Tony is the signal.” He took up clinical medicine during an internship and residency at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, then arrived at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, as a clinical fellow in 1968.

But the patient, who had spent months in hospital, said “no way” and vowed to go to the beach every day and go dancing at night. “I sort of gulped and thought: what the heck am I going to do now?” Grady says. She decided to assure Fauci that he would do exactly what he said. The Faucis did have a rule, however, about always eating dinner together as a family, no matter how late at night. His eldest daughter, Jenny, recalls with good humour him arriving home only to start dancing with her mother, even as the kids were desperate to eat.

Fauci heeded the anger and wondered what he was missing. In October 1989, he ventured into the lions’ den of a meeting with the biggest activist group, Act Up, and listened to its members’ concerns. Covid proved to be, in Fauci’s words, a “diabolical repeat” of the Aids crisis. This time, it was his misfortune to be working on a White House taskforce under Donald Trump, who waffled over mask wearing, pushed unscientific cures and played down the danger, insisting the virus would disappear “like a miracle”.

“Thankfully, after Trump did the bleach thing [suggesting that disinfectant could be injected as a cure for Covid], there were no more instances of Tony having to stand behind Trump, so that problem kind of went away. But, yeah, it was painful. The great news is that on 20th January this year, Trump was gone and Tony was still at his desk.”

Pitt earned an Emmy nomination and the sketch has been viewed more than 14 million times on YouTube. Fauci himself said: “I think he showed that he’s really a classy guy when, at the end, he took off his hair and thanked me and all the healthcare workers.”
